Spring!

Trumpet swans with silver notes
Moving through the zephyr's coat
Flies the glowing honeybee
Launching dandelion's glee

Gone the winter's grey and steel
Breaks the ground, comes grass and leal
Roses peeking through the brae
Reaching for sunshine's day

Through the clearing come they all
Frolic to the forest's hall
Dashing piper's gossamer wings
Carried to the new year's feast

Nighthawk sings through doe and faun
Red fox trots 'round golden pond
Purple sage decks laurel's queen
Dancing through the woods of green.

HAIL! Spring and season's time
Whirling through the days come nigh
Hasten not our side to leave
'Til comes to all Midsummer's Eve!

Just as inspiring as when I read it the first time! :)

@Jacob, go back a few posts and read my "ode to the parking lot attendant", it also came in a moment of inspiration (and inspired from a true comment)... it still makes me chuckle that I wrote that.
